Hunter (Dee Bradley Baker)

Who is Hunter? With his unrivalled ability to stay calm and collected under pressure, Hunter is the leader of Clone Force 99 (aka The Bad Batch). He was engineered to have heightened senses, allowing him to track his targets with greater accuracy than any technological device could.

It's not just droids and living beings he can find either, as Hunter can also sense electromagnetic frequencies, which he uses to find locations of interest from anywhere on a planet.

Power: Heightened senses

Wrecker (Dee Bradley Baker)

Who is Wrecker? Wrecker was genetically modified to have super-strength, allowing him to carry enormous weight, burst through walls and accomplish many other astonishing feats.

He is the least intellectual of the group and rather short of patience, quickly becoming frustrated when a mission requires stealth rather than explosives.

Power: Super strength

Crosshair (Dee Bradley Baker)

Who is Crosshair? Given that most troopers in the Star Wars universe couldn't hit a target if it was standing right in front of them, Crosshair stands out as a cut above the rest. He was engineered to wield weapons with precision and expertise, meaning he can hit a difficult target in even the most adverse conditions.

However, his social skills leave a lot to be desired as he can often seem cold and distant compared with the rest of his team.

Power: Sharpshooting

Echo (Dee Bradley Baker)

Who is Echo? Echo is technically a 'reg' – that is to say, a regular clone with no genetic enhancements. However, after a mission under the command of Anakin Skywalker went south, he was taken captive by the Separatist Techno Union and experimented on. They modified him with cybernetic parts and used his knowledge of clone strategies against the Republic forces for some time.

Eventually, he was rescued by Anakin, Rex and the Bad Batch, deciding to join their ranks as he no longer fitted in with standard squads. In addition to being an efficient soldier, Echo's technological components allow him to hack into secure systems.

Power: Cybernetic parts

Omega (Michelle Ang)

Who is Omega? Omega is an unmodified, enhanced female human clone. In season 1, she's adopted as part of the batch. However, the end of season 2 spelt tragedy for the youngster as she was taken to Mount Tantiss, Dr. Hemlock's base, to serve as a bargaining chip and to force Nala Se's compliance with the Empire.

Cid (Rhea Pearlman)

Who is Cid? Cid is an information broker who was first introduced in season 1 episode 5. While she initially had a productive working relationship with the batch, the end of season 2 saw Cid betray them, leading to Omega's imprisonment.

Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman)

Who is Asajj Ventress? Ventress is a force-sensitive character who has been though many iterations, however her return in The Bad Batch season 3, which was confirmed in the trailer, is very interesting as we were led to believe she'd met her demise in The Clone Wars.

Executive producer Brad Rau recently reassured fans, though, telling StarWars.com: "We love Asajj Ventress.

"She’s a character that we've been wanting to tell more stories about. We don't want to spoil anything, but want fans to know that any new storytelling with Ventress will align with the events of Star Wars: Dark Disciple."

Vice Admiral Rampart (Noshir Dalal)

Who is Vice Admiral Rampart? Rampart is a Vice Admiral in the Empire and a right-hand man of Grand Moff Tarkin. He oversaw the recruitment of soldiers into the Imperial army.

Nala Se (Gwendoline Yeo)

Who is Nala Se? Nala Se is a doctor and scientist who served the Galactic Republic. She was in charge of Omega in her early years and helped her escape, as well as protecting her. The finale of season 2 saw Nala Se reunited with Omega with the pair of them imprisoned.

Grand Moff Tarkin (Stephen Stanton)

Who is Grand Moff Tarkin? Tarkin is the first Grand Moff and is hell-bent on wiping out the rebellion. In the finale of season 2, he requested a report for Orson Krennic on Project Stardust – the codename for the construction of the Death Star.
